The long procession set off, descended from Mount Abif, and went back along the way they came.
Although the big cart full of gems was missing, the number of people in the team became even larger.
Ishtar, Kazuko, Gu Mo and others also set off together, because they were already allies of the same camp, so it was natural not to continue to stay out of it as before, and they should go to the Warcraft front. We have reunited and are preparing for what’s next.
"Actually, we can return to Uruk in about a day...it won't be a big delay, so you don't have to worry too much."
Riding on the back of the captured angry lion-like monster, Gu Mo looked at the somewhat depressed Xili and said this.
The witcher girl nodded, but she still looked listless and frustrated.
Because before setting off, Gu Mo originally planned to ask her to directly activate the teleportation technique to teleport the people in Mount Abif directly to the vicinity of Uruk, but it naturally failed. Just as Ciri currently does not have the ability to accurately locate and travel through other worlds, the positioning and teleportation within the world is not yet very good.
In the world of witchers, teleportation spells are also very strategic spells, and many warlocks have mastered this spell.
However, Xili only received part of the magic training and had no systematic practice to master this teleportation spell. Since then, she has been traveling between time and space, relying on the magic in her blood to continuously travel through worlds, but They all travel randomly and rely entirely on luck.
And being chased by the Wild Hunt, there really was no time to practice any magic.
It was during this period that, in order to train her to become a qualified navigator, Gu Mocai deliberately let the demon hunter girl begin to regain this knowledge and skills.
It's just that the progress is not too fast, and it can even be said that the results are minimal. Naturally, Xili is also a little disappointed. Gu Mo didn't think anything was wrong. Since he couldn't teleport, he just led the soldiers back overland. Anyway, it wouldn't waste much time.
"senior……"
Grasping the reins of the angry lion under him, Fujimaru Ritsuka awkwardly drove the monster back slowly, and soon fell behind the team, keeping pace with Gu Mo's mount. Then he said: "I last night..."
"Have you met the goddess?" Gu Mo said calmly.
"Senior, do you know? The goddess appeared, but she left after a short while. It seems... she seems to be a little curious about us, and she also approves of our efforts so far..."
The red-haired and orange-eyed girl was stunned for a moment, and then nodded quickly. At the same time, her eyes looked subtly at the small black dot on the horizon in the distance. That was the goddess Ishtar speeding on her boat of God. By the way, we were cruising back and forth over the team on the ground.
Occasionally, streaks of light can be seen falling from the airship, and then there is a muffled sound from the end of the horizon. The huge bombardment and the fire rising into the sky intuitively show the power of the light arrow.
The noble goddess naturally does not want to march on land, and Akuko, who signed a contract with her, is temporarily allowed to be taken by her to sit on the boat of God... and it is precisely because of the goddess's reconnaissance and patrolling in the air. , basically no Warcraft can get close to the team.
Without even seeing the shadow, it was blown to pieces.
"But right now, I'm just curious and approving, but I have no intention of helping you, right?" Gu Mo continued to ask.
"Yes, that goddess seems to be gentler and easier to talk to than Miss Ishtar, but in the first contact last night, she did not show any intention of helping us..." Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded. Head, said softly.
Even though Ishtar was so far away, she definitely couldn't hear him, but she still lowered her voice subconsciously.
"This is normal. Even the goddess of the jungle may not necessarily be optimistic about us. It's just that she has a very cheerful personality and is willing to admit defeat, so she just agreed to accompany us to make a big fuss. But that goddess is diligent and serious, but a little negative. Goddess, she doesn’t think much of us at the moment, so naturally she won’t give up her idea…”
"Then what should we do, senior?"
"Just let nature take its course."
Let nature take its course? Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded as if understanding, then glanced at the small black dot on the horizon, and asked softly: "That goddess and the goddess Ishtar..."
"It's the relationship between sisters, the relationship between the naturally stupid sister and the careless and stupid sister..." Gu Mo knew the question she wanted to ask, and without much thought, he gave an explanation that he thought was very appropriate.
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu looked at each other and saw the confusion on each other's faces.
"Jikyo, did you find anything?"
Gu Mo also tightened the reins of the angry lion and came to the side of the witch. He had noticed from just now that Kikyo seemed a little worried and was looking into the distance with a frown.
"...No, it's just a feeling."
The witch glanced at him, pondered slightly, and said softly.
"Feel?"
"Well, I can feel that something is approaching this world, very close... It should be the body of the god you mentioned is approaching." The witch frowned. Her perception is her strength, and After obtaining the body of a goddess, her perception of the environment has been greatly improved.
So she could feel some kind of sign that the storm was coming, but it was difficult to describe what it was.
"It should be the Tiamat I told you before. The mother goddess of creation was exiled to the inner world of imaginary numbers. But now through the collapse of the foundation of human nature and the power of the Holy Grail, she has returned to this side of the world. , it just hasn’t shown up yet.”
Gu Mo nodded in approval. What the witch felt should be the pressure brought by the mother goddess. Even if she had not completely returned to this side of the world, she was undoubtedly very close.
It's like a huge shadow emerging from under the water. Even if the giant beast in the abyss has not revealed its true face, it is enough to make people feel oppressive and fearful.
Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu and others next to them were frightened when they heard this. Chaldea's communication side was also silent and did not speak. After all, it was an unavoidable thing and could only be faced.
Probably only Miss Tamamo curled her lips, and Shiri's eyes flickered. The former's essence is ultimately the cold-hearted Nine-Tailed Hime God, who only cares about the people she cares about, and doesn't have so much philanthropy. In addition, because For some reason, she is not familiar with Chaldea either.
The latter also had the same intention. Although the demon hunter girl was also very kind, if nothing could be done, she could only open the portal immediately to help organize a strategic retreat. With this idea, Ciri felt that she You have to think about your options for the people on your side.
"The day of destruction is coming soon..."
Gu Mo also sighed softly, looking at the end of the horizon in the distance, where the rising sun was red.
As red as blood and ominous...
…………
…
By the time we returned to Uruk, it was naturally already nightfall.
The group of people also went to meet King Gilgamesh. Although the latter was very busy, he still took the time to meet them, but he was not necessarily very enthusiastic and had a feeling of being bossy... Gu Mo had already known this. I'm mentally prepared, so I don't feel any discomfort.
After all, he is the supreme king of this era, and he not only has rights, but also assumes corresponding obligations.
Although he still had bad habits such as being rude and unruly, this wise king who worked so hard that he tired himself to death on the throne was actually quite good, and it was hard for Gu Mo to have any bad feelings towards him. At the same time, I even wonder if there are three people in Gilgamesh.
After all, when I was a child, when I was a teenager, and now at this stage, they seemed to be three completely different people.
In the temporarily established Chaldean embassy, everyone discussed the tasks just given by King Gilgamesh. There were two main tasks. One was to go to the Persian Gulf Observation Station to conduct water quality surveys, and the other was to go to the southern city. Eridu brings back the legendary artifact——
Marduk's handaxe.
"...That is the legendary artifact that defeated Tiamat. Although it is said to be a hand axe, it is actually dozens of meters long." Merlin still had a sassy smile on his face, but his tone was full of It means nerve-wracking, "I guess I can't help with this task."
"...It's really useless."
Anna next to her murmured. At this moment, the lovable young servant who was wearing a hood had not had a good impression of Merlin ever since she was deceived by the flower magician.
"There's nothing you can do about it, it's a weapon made by gods, and human magic will be deflected." Merlin exaggeratedly expressed his aggrieved expression, "I'm just a caster. If magic doesn't come in handy, I can't. Let me help carry the ax that is bigger than the mountain."
It is said to be a hand axe, but in fact it is a giant-level weapon.
What can his little arms and legs do?
"So I'd better go to the Persian Gulf Observation Station. Just because of the information given by Mr. Gu Mo, Wang has given up the idea of looking for the Destiny Clay Tablet. My previous mission is also over..." The Flower Magician But he didn't want to be lazy. He really couldn't do another task, so he could only go to the Persian Gulf for a trip.
"In that case, let's go to Eridu. Isn't the territory to the south the domain of the Jungle Goddess?" Fujimaru Ritsuka thought quickly and made a decision quickly, "It just so happens that we are going there too, who Doesn’t the goddess want to see me? Maybe she can help us carry that divine weapon.”
"This is also a way, but all of a sudden even the goddess of the jungle has been roped in. The progress of the plan is much beyond expectations. With this person joining us, our chances of winning... well, it can be said to be greatly improved."
Merlin said with great approval: "King Gilgamesh is having a headache again. Many plans have to be adjusted overnight. Some orders have just been sent out and he has to send people to chase them back."
"What, why are you talking about the Jungle Goddess and not me? Doesn't my joining increase your chances of winning?"
Ishtar narrowed her eyes, with a dangerous light flashing in her eyes. When she followed everyone to see Gilgamesh, she was angry again. The hateful guy pretended to be generous and said permission. She went back to live in her temple...
That was originally his palace on the ground, so why did he need his permission?
The goddess who was originally unhappy is naturally even more unhappy now. She is obviously the strongest goddess, right? She shouldn't be the one who attracts the most attention!
"This is natural, this is natural. Now that Ishtar has become a friend, it is simply the key to the final decision." In the Chaldean communication, the laughter belonging to Dr. Roman rang out. The good old man hurriedly came out to smooth things over and complimented the goddess. My lord, although that was their original idea——
"No matter who comes, they will not lose! Mesopotamia's claim to be the strongest is no joke, Miss Ishtar is definitely the best!"
"Humph, I guess you guys know each other..." The black-haired girl nodded triumphantly, her fair, slender and graceful neck raised as gracefully as a swan.
"That's right. Miss Ishtar's Heavenly Bull is definitely the most powerful method in our hands." The simple Matthew nodded his head in praise.
"...Yes, yes, you know quite well, if you have to use it, it should be the last resort, oh hehehe."
Ishtar's body suddenly froze, and then she smiled with some guilt.
"Speaking of which, where is Lord Gu Mo?" Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't notice the goddess's sudden guilty conscience, but suddenly realized that an important person seemed to be missing.
"He went to see the king and said he had something to discuss." On the other side of the table, Kazuko, who was sitting quietly with the miko and others, raised her head and said calmly.
…………
"You want to borrow Uruk's cup?"
In the brightly lit palace, the young man on the throne frowned and looked at Gu Mo below, first sneered, and then said loudly: "It's really courageous, but that's it... Let's not talk about anything else, I think. You know what you want to do?"
"Of course it's to reshape the body." Gu Mo didn't hide it. He spread his hands and reached out to hold his chest. "This body is still too weak and is completely insufficient to cope with the next catastrophe."
"Well, you are now a pseudo-server based on a human body..."
Gilgamesh held his chin with one hand and leaned on the armrest beside the throne, looking at the man below.
"The immortals over there are just like the gods. The scale of their existence is too different. There is no way to come as a servant. They can only transfer the spirit to a very similar human being and then come as a follower..."
"So now you want to use the power of the Holy Grail to rebuild an immortal body so that you can exert your full power?"
